DIET COKE AND MENTOS

Last Sunday, Kate blogged about trying (unsuccessfully) to duplicate a Diet Coke and Mentos science experiment she'd heard about. It was the first I've heard of it, but apparently, it's a big thing now. Terry sent me this video tonight and clued me. Check it out!

WIRED

FIRST LINE
Go buy the July issue of Wired. I'd send you a copy, if I could. Why?

*Blockbuster movies and hit songs are dead (p. 122)
*Blogs are driving the global economy (p. 132)
*Rupert Murdoch bought your favorite website (p. 142)

Want to know what I talk about when I'm not blogging? No need to fork over the dough for Big-Brother-style equipment! For a few bucks you can read about every trend that I've been discussing offline for the past few months. (Man, I want a podcast so bad I can taste it).

MYSPACE: THE NOVEL

A novel based on the myspace phenomenon is overdue. I want to (help) write it, but my poor brain can't even come up with the main characters, much less the conflict. Hey! I did the hard part by cooking up the big idea. Now it's up to you to help me fill in the details. Any suggestions?
